Something similar here and cheaper. (Infuriating how expensive adaptive equipment and such can unnecessarily be). I'll use a bungee cord with hooks at both ends. One end is attached around back to my frame where the handle bars are. The other end I bring around to my lap when needed. I can attach shopping baskets, backpacks or mostly whatever to carry a load of weight, leaves my lap open and pressure off my thighs. If the cord stretches too much, it can also indicate I'm carrying too much weight for the specs of my manual WC. Hope this may help others who may not want to spend a lot. Have a blessed day...
@@clairerusz2639 I hear your frustration and understand that for some LapStacker is too much for their budget. On the face of it, LapStacker is simple, but underneath it all is 5 years of expensive research and development and significant costs to produce a world-first and high-production quality innovation. After all, disabled people deserve high-quality products too right? LapStacker was designed as affordably as it could be while still being commercially viable. There are some cheaper alternatives you may like to consider. You could try a range of different bungee cords (shock cord, elastic cord), which you’ll need to attach each time you secure a load. Caution is needed though, as they can be quite dangerous and difficult to use, plus you may need a range of sizes to carry everything. You could try and make your own using seat belt mechanisms and devise a way to attach it to your chair. Or you could try a purse strap. Backpacks are also a way to carry things. Hope those suggestions help.
What I find, as a powerchair user, is that tables are never high to accommodate the powerchair - usually higher than a manual wheelchair because of the batteries. Great vid as always :)
Yes this! I always end up kind of wedged in still about 4” from the table, the table top being at the level of my lap and that’s even if I can get close to the table at all. I dislike and avoid eating out because of this.
My manual chair barely fits under most tables. I am ambulatory as well so my chair isn't as low as my friends who use theirs all day every day. It's so annoying having to lean forward to eat or sit sideways.
So true! I just back up enough to place a napkin on my lap and then place the plate on my lap and if people don't like it too bad that's how I like to eat😊
The lap stacker looks great. Would like to see it with a netting system so you can hold multiple items on your lap. It would make all the difference when shopping etc.
Just got this for Christmas and I LOVE IT. So well thought out and engineered, works so smoothly and is long enough to hold a whole bunch of stuff. If you’re thinking you might need it, you do. Have a friend that needs on? They do. Seriously, this should be standard on every chair. For the price I was surprised at all the small engineering details that are so thoughtful and could have been left out to maximize profit, this isn’t the case at all, come with all the parts to fit it and customize it and it works so smoothly.
I find the weight of those doors totally beyond me now…I’m 74 and have M.E. It can be such a problem if you’re in a rush to get to the loo and there is no able-bodied person near-by to help. Lord knows why they’re so heavy, unless it’s a fire-door there by law because stupid people ‘might start a fire in the loo to cause the alarms to go off??? 🙏🏻

Just checked the pricing out of curiosity- YIKES. It looks lovely and clean but much too pricey for me. $140 with shipping and taxes. To be fair, I'm not the intended audience- I use a rollator. My method for keeping shopping in place on my rollator's seat is a system of MODL Infinity Tools (also pricey, but extremely versatile and imo very worth the price). Essentially, fancy bungee cords, but in my case they go across at about thigh-height to keep things from sliding backwards off the seat when going up an incline, rather than strapping things down by applying downward pressure. For something more like the lap stacker, I would probably use wide elastic straps or maybe some cinched-down paracord.
I used to ride motorbikes so tend to use bungee cords for everything. They work pretty well. What I do need to do is fit rear view mirrors because it freaks me out when people come up behind my wheelchair. Oh, and wheel scythes and forward mounted rocket launchers of course :).
I actually use a bungee cord net that was meant for motorbikes underneath my wheelchair seat for stowing things. It's great for things like coats, bags etc.
The Lapstacker band looks like it is definitely a useful piece of kit indeed. I need to get one for my wheelchair. Daisy's iced latte looks very tasty. The blue-grey 'Pink' cropped jumper, should have been in pink instead of blue-grey. The fashion shopping haul looks really brilliant.
FInally got my first active wheelchair (argon 2) on Tuesday (after 9 yrs of struggling to propel the tank known as action ng 3), installed the lapstacker in a few minutes and have found so much confidence in the security it provides. I was worried about transporting stuff on my lap due to the reduced lap space of the active chair, absence of armrests to corrale random junk, and limited bag options due to the weight difference but this gadget is genuinely life improving!. Used your code and saved £8 on shipping 🎉
Hi there. Thanks for sharing. Congratulations on your new chair, hope it gives you all the freedom you deserve. Glad you love the lapstacker as much as me. ☺️
@@Wheelsnoheels thanks you, went there the other day, and got stuck in the toilet, used the alarm and apparently I’m the first to use it and it doesn’t ring anywhere. The council are now aware and maybe putting in a sound box or light to notify, wasn’t the happiest, was stuck in the toilet for an hr
The lap stacker looks like if would be really useful on both my manual ‘upstairs’ chair and my power hair but the £100 price tag just puts it at a price point that doesn’t make sense for me. The amount of times I have problems it would help just don’t add up to value for money yet. I will keep it on my ‘wish list’ though as things change and I decline further.
This honestly looks so helpful and handy out and about AND around the house! And relatively easy to install that’s awesome! Random to add: That basket for laundry is such a perfect idea!
I have a crossbody purse that I either put in the shopping basket so it stays in my lap. Or, I just stack everything behind the purse on my lap if I'm not getting much. I find those options work best for me
Hmmm. I can't put things on my lap yet, but I do have a foldable MOD Complete Folding Shopping Cart with 360-degree Swivel Wheels with a Double Basket that I use when shopping. I place it in front of my footrest and push it. This strap system might work if I place it on my brace for my footrest and latch it onto the little cart. That way it would free up my hands to maneuver better. Hmmmm, I might have to get me one of these and try it out! Thank you for showcasing this!
What a great video!☺️✨ Brilliant idea the Lap-Stacker. I watched your super film to the end and then subscribed, such a lovely couple. Showing how you managed the household chores was likely extremely helpful to other wheelchair users, made a lot of sense to use the Lap-Stacker there as well. You have a lovely bubbly personality and it certainly comes across during your filming. Sending kind thoughts to you and your husband and lovely little sister. Stay safe, listen to ‘your little voice in your head ‘ act on how it’s nudging you, it’s your Guardian Angel giving you advice. 🌺💐🌹🙏🏻💕
Wow, that lap stacker would have been a real game changer back when I was in a manual chair. Now, I don't find it so much of an issue, partly because, with my power chair, I usually have a spare hand to hold things on my lap anyway when I need to, and partly because Im not able to be active enough or do things as independenly anyway anymore. It's always great to see more solutions for various issues though
Lovely Gem! How cool are your sunglasses 😎 . Fab review. Could do with this as a power chair user I struggle to reach the shopping on the back as I need a headrest. It’s a great idea but the price point is too high. Unfortunately my chair isn’t listed as compatible. .Might try an elasticated belt if it exists or a bungee cord from a popular global online store. Loved the video as always and has given me a few ideas xx
A lot of people have suggested bungee chords ,i think you need to just be carefull they don't fling off , Shaun says it really hurts from first hand experience😄
Gem, what happened to the lapsnap bag? Any reason you stopped using it? I don't care much for the lap stacker. I usually use a shopping basket on my lap.
i still have it yes i find that the lap stacker is with me all the time in every situation , where as i do have to remember to take the lap snap bag with me , thanks for commenting 🙂
I've just emailed them about fit for my electric wheelchair. It would be ideal for me as I teach in different schools and my bags and equipment are always trying to throw themselves of my lap!!!
@@Wheelsnoheels me too! This is my first term teaching in my chair and there’s lots I’m having to get used to so now chucking my equipment off my lap wherever I go would be great! 😂
I so need one. Stuff is always falling off my lap, it is so frustrating. Do you find the hand loops get in the way while your pushing, & how much does the lapstacker weigh? I get frustrated at how much adaptive aids & wheelchairs cost. It's like saying the word "Wedding". Problem is that some people who don't have much money, miss out on things they would like to do because they can't afford these things. That park looks lovely. But that Accessible Bathroom Door needs replacing. These types of doors are way too heavy. It's ok in my power chair. But in my manual chair I get stuck quite a bit. I got stuck the other day looking for playgrounds that I could take my great niece too. They used bark & my power chair tried to dig itself in. Luckily a couple of strong guys were walking past that helped me. Councils need to realise that Bark & Gravel as a base for playgrounds is NOT wheelchair friendly. It's anything but. I can't believe how big Daisy is now. A big Hi from Melbourne, Australia 🇦🇺.
Hi there. It’s honestly the best thing ever and has changed my life. Check my recent video here ruclips.net/video/3OeLOV5CtnI/видео.html it’s a full review on the batec. Enjoy 💎

@@Wheelsnoheels I have no lap (double ampute) therefore i use a rucksack for shopping. Do you use gloves while pushing yourself or your hands get very dirty ?
while that's a very useful item, and yes we do need one, the $119 price is a lot for not a whole lot of bells n whistles, I do the same thing with a bungie cord for only a few dollars, if they can get the price down, low income or fixed income wheelchair users might be more enticed
Thanks for the feedback on the price. We realize that for some this is a stretch. Good to see that you have used bungees, even though we know these to be difficult to attach, not as versatile, or as secure as LapStacker, and in some cases quite dangerous to use. If you're interested in the bells and whistles of LapStacker, please take a look at the product specifications to see the thousands of hours of design that have gone into creating a product that is easy to use (even if you have reduced hand and arm function) is versatile, discrete, and fits most chairs with ease.
That will come in handy as a seat belt when Shaun mounts a motorcycle engine onto your chair, and you decide to race on the motorway...😉 The strap is a cool idea. ✌️🇺🇸🇬🇧✌️
Sadly, the company told me my powerchair isn't compatible with the lapstacker. I have something similar rigged up for large items, but not as easy to use as this
Yeah, what is with heavy bathroom doors? I hate that. I have armrests, as I have scoliosis, so I wedge stuff in beside me to carry them 😂 I was about to say what Shawn said about the crisps 😂
Don't think I could fit this on my electric wheelchair. I have a foldalite wheelchair which folds flat to fit in the boot of the car and there's no room underneath my seat when it's folded flat.
My family have used the word destructions for years normally because when the flat pack is assembled there are bits are left over at the end which shouldn’t! 😮
Love the idea. This would be a game changer for me....but most people who would need it couldn't afford it :( It is $160 in Canada before shipping and tax.
@GraceReaume With Gem's code [ Gem ] shipping is free and because it is a wheelchair accessory it is duty-free. So far our customers in Canada are not paying any additional tax.
Your right ,It is a bit pricey , ploy of work has gone in to it though with quality materials and once you got it its there for good ,i think the shipping is free🤔 thanks for sharing , 🙂🙂
I've had the lap stacker bookmarked for a year or more but it's so expensive for what it is. Maybe for a Christmas present or something. It would be so useful. Things on my lap is like my number one problem, haha
Have you tried the lapstacker? Or do you fancy getting one?
I’d love to get one but at £99 it’s rather expensive. Why are all disability aids so expensive?

An interesting idea, thanks for sharing. I find that by stacking strategically you can carry multiple items at once without needing a net. (Mike)
@@adaptdefy true a bit of jenga stacking can help you carry many things in your lap

Seeing the cushions makes me think the Lap Stacker would be great for securing a nice warm duvet in the winter. 😊
That's a great idea. Would keep your legs warm
Yeessss , I'm all about keeping my legs warm , and no slippage 😀
Heavily sprung doors, actually even lightly sprung doors, are my pet peeves! I’m in a power chair, but only have one functional arm.
Same here, even in a manual chair with strong arms I find them difficult sometimes. (Mike)

its great little hack👍
Does the lap stacker work if you have armrests? I have bad scoliosis so I need my armrests
I think Mike would be able to answer that if your able to contact him🙂
What a great invention
Is this available in North America?
How long is the code active for?
The neck thing sort of worked. Mind you, I'm a 3X lady, so it was just a trifle big...
Oh yeah the neck thing, need to try that! (Mike)
I wonder if that could be fitted on your stair lift too for carrying things upstairs.
I don’t see why not. That’s a good idea. I have a seat belt on my stairlift so sometimes use that.
looks great but far too expensive
When you hit the sill of the door and the only thing that toppled off the mountain of stuff on your lap was the parcel!... the irony! 😂
Yeah, what is with heavy bathroom doors? I hate that. I have armrests, as I have scoliosis, so I wedge stuff in beside me to carry them 😂 I was about to say what Shawn said about the crisps 😂
Right? It's as if you're entering a bank fault....🤣
@@redsorgumyou wouldn’t need to be in a hurry 😂
How did you go about getting that power system device for your chair and is it compatible with all Manual wheelchairs or just certain chairs
I think she made a video about it when she first got it - it's called Batec if you want to search for it.
wednesday 15th may, 5 pm. Full video on the power attachment. I hope to see you then. :)
The only problem with that it won,t work for everyone
Don't think I could fit this on my electric wheelchair. I have a foldalite wheelchair which folds flat to fit in the boot of the car and there's no room underneath my seat when it's folded flat.
If you’re interested, email mike, he will check for you. ☺️
@@Wheelsnoheels that would be great! I'll do that, Thankyou ♥
@@Deecula On it.
So cool I bet you can but a basket on ur lap with that belt also
Do all English speaking countries use destructions as slang for instructions or is it just us Aussies?
That is a good question, as I’d never heard anyone say that before I met Shaun. 🤔
I think it is a Shawn invention!
My family have used the word destructions for years normally because when the flat pack is assembled there are bits are left over at the end which shouldn’t! 😮
I'd never heard it either. Haha It's a good term. (Mike)
I'm always saying destructions 😂
Love quavers!
Love the idea. This would be a game changer for me....but most people who would need it couldn't afford it :( It is $160 in Canada before shipping and tax.
@GraceReaume With Gem's code [ Gem ] shipping is free and because it is a wheelchair accessory it is duty-free. So far our customers in Canada are not paying any additional tax.
Your right ,It is a bit pricey , ploy of work has gone in to it though with quality materials and once you got it its there for good ,i think the shipping is free🤔 thanks for sharing , 🙂🙂
"Haych & M" sounds so much classier!
???
@@Wheelsnoheels just the say Daisy said H&M vs the way the letter "H" is commonly said in North America #SoPosh
@@AndrewHaverson ohh hahahah
i just bought a gym bag that i can throw over my shoulder to hold it on my lap.
❤
So daisy's waist circumference is the same as her neck circumference?... wait what?
No hahahaha ni think it means it would be more like half , does that make sense 🤔
I've had the lap stacker bookmarked for a year or more but it's so expensive for what it is. Maybe for a Christmas present or something. It would be so useful. Things on my lap is like my number one problem, haha
Ah yeah it is pricy. But so handy if you can make the investment.
Me encánta ver cómo disfrutas de la vida,.
